Love's Change of Heart

After returning to the kitchen, Leanna asked as she washed the vegetables, "How have things been at

school recently?"

"Nothing special. It's the same as always."

However, Leanna didn't quite believe him. "Really?"

Louis had already appeared on the trending searches a few times. It was impossible for his life to still

be the same as before.

As if he remembered something, Louis paused his chopping motion and mentioned, "Someone tried to

infiltrate the school, but security discovered them before they succeeded."

He didn't pay much attention to the other things.

There wasn't much difference from before, except that there were more people blocking his way at

school.

Leanna suggested, "You should let the company arrange an assistant for you. I've seen some crazy

fans online. They might find their way to your home."

Speaking of this, Leanna also felt that this was a problem. "The place you're living in now isn't very

safe. Let me buy you a more discreet house."

"It's fine. If I want to move, I can ask the company to arrange it."

He paused as he spoke, but Leanna didn't know what he was thinking.

"Be careful outside and call me if you need anything."

"Got it."

After washing the vegetables, Leanna glanced at him and hesitated for a moment before picking up a

small knife nearby and handing it to him. "Now peel the garlic."

But when Louis reached out to take it, Leanna suddenly changed the direction of the blade.

The small knife proceeded to graze across Louis' finger, drawing droplets of blood after a few seconds.

Leanna quickly put down the knife and grabbed two tissues to wipe away the blood when she noticed

this. "Sorry! I got distracted for a moment..."

"It's nothing," Louis replied.

Such a small cut would probably heal by tonight.

Still worried about him, Leanna pulled him out of the kitchen and took out iodine from the living room to

disinfect his wound. "We can't let your wound get infected."

Zoe soon came over, asking, "What happened?"

Leanna sighed, "I accidentally cut Louis' finger with a knife."

While Leanna was speaking, she exchanged a glance with Zoe.

Zoe immediately understood and sympathetically asked, "Louis, you've got quite a bit of bad luck today

— Oh? Why do you have gray hair?"

Before Louis could answer, Zoe quickly reached out and plucked a strand of his hair.

She then exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You're only 20 years old! Why do you have gray hair already?"

Louis looked at the hair in her hand. "It's black, isn't it?"

Zoe looked as confused as could be and looked at it repeatedly. "Really? Why does it look gray to me?

Nana, what do you think?"

She handed it to Leanna.

Leanna took a look and coughed. "I can't see clearly either. It looks like it's both white and black. It's

probably due to the reflection."

As she spoke, she put a band-aid on Louis' wound and changed the topic. "Alright, let's get ready for

dinner."

Zoe followed her and stood up, quickly running into the kitchen. "Louis, rest well since you're injured. I'll

help with the rest."

When Louis looked away, he happened to meet the eyes of the man who had come out of the bedroom

without him noticing.

Aidan walked over and sat across from him, crossing his long legs. "You got hurt?"

Louis nonchalantly replied, "It's just a minor injury."

Aidan raised an eyebrow slightly and didn't say anything.

As the person who had recently done a DNA test on Louis, he couldn't say that Leanna and Zoe's

actions were the same as his. They were too deliberate.

There was no way they couldn't fool him.

Some time ago, Leanna had asked him about the paternity test between Louis and William.

Her doing this was expected.

After a while, Aidan finally asked, "How are things between you and Daphne?"

Upon hearing this, Louis only quietly pursed his lips.

Aidan continued, "It seems... not ideal. You're still too young, and you're always getting caught up in

trivial matters."

Leanna overheard his words when she came out of the kitchen with the food. She immediately spoke

up, "Let's eat."

Aidan's lips curled up, and he stopped the conversation right there.

Louis kept sitting there with his head lowered while he looked at the band-aid on his hand, seemingly

deep in his thoughts.

Having Zoe and Louis at the dining table tonight made it feel like a family gathering. With Leanna

present, she occasionally managed to restrain Aidan and prevent him from speaking recklessly.

Because of that, everyone enjoyed a relaxed dinner.

After they were done, Zoe took the initiative to do the dishes and ran into the kitchen.

Louis also left.

After seeing Louis off at the door, Leanna was about to turn back when she saw Aidan waiting for her

not far away.

She proceeded to walk over. "What's wrong?"

Aidan raised his hand and lightly pinched her nose. "Nothing. I just find you cute."

Leanna only looked at Aidan suspiciously, wondering what he was up to.

She warned, "Don't tell Louis nonsense in the future. He—"

"It's precisely because he has those concerns that I should help him, no?"

Leanna didn't say anything, but she had to admit that Aidan was right.

The most unfortunate one among the four of them was Zoe, who was forced to listen to the couple

talking affectionately to each other from the kitchen.

Feeling numb all over, she sighed while washing the dirty dishes.
